เมื่อวานตื่นมา

พบว่าคอมดับอยู่ จำได้ว่าก่อนนอนเปิดโหลดบิตไว้

เปิดใหม่ หน้าจอมีเส้นๆ แนว 8 bit ขึ้นเป็นแถบๆ รู้สึกหวั่นใจ

บูตเข้า Windows ไม่ได้ ชักเครียด

รู้ตัวแล้วว่ามันพังแน่ เดาไว้ว่าไม่เมนบอร์ดก็การ์ดจอที่รักยิ่ง (MB: Asus Commando, VGA: GeForce 8800GTS 320MB)

หลังจากที่นั่งวิเคราะห์กับรูมเมทสุดเลิฟแล้วก็ปักใจเชื่อว่า การ์ดจอ พังแน่ๆ

ลองเอามาสลับกันดู (เมทใช้ GeForce 7600 GS เป็น PCI-Express เหมือนกัน)

ใช้ได้ราบลื่น

คอนเฟิร์มแบบไม่ต้องกราบเท้า!!!

ลองเช็คสติ๊กเกอร์วอยด์ดู บอกว่าของ “ARC” (ประมาว่า เห็นแล้วร้อง อ๊ากกกก ของกุพังงงง)

หลังจากเช็คเว็บของบริษัทแล้ว (Ascenti.co.th ไม่รู้ว่าย่อยังไงเป็นอ๊าก)

ศูนย์นี้รู้สึกแต่จะขายแต่ยี่ห้อแรงๆ XFX, OCZ, PC P&C, Razer, NZXT, XIGMATEK เห็นแล้วรู้จักครึ่งเดียว ที่เหลือแพงเกินเอื้อม

พบว่ามีฐานที่มั่นแถวบางบัวทอง มีสาขาที่พันธ์ทิพย์ และเซียร์ รังสิต

โทรเข้าไปถามที่เซียร์ก่อนเลย ว่าเคลมได้มั้ย กี่วัน เขาบอกว่าต้องส่งไปฐานที่มั่น แล้วก็คิดว่ารุ่นนี้ต้องรอส่งไปเคลมเมืองนอก เราก็หวั่นใจ จะรีบใช้ (มีงานต้องทำ แล้วก็มีเลเวลที่ต้องเก็บ)

ยกหูโทรไปถามที่อีกสาขาก็ได้คำตอบเดียวกัน เลยถามสำนักงานใหญ่ซะ

ได้คำตอบว่า “รุ่นนี้ไม่มีในไทยแล้ว”

หน้าซีดดดดด

เลยถามไปว่ามีทางเลือกอื่นมั้ย ให้รอนี่ขาดใจตายก่อนแน่

เขาเลยบอกว่า “เพิ่มสามร้อย ได้ 9800 GT 512MB นะ”

แค่นั้นแหละ รีบเรียกแท็กซี่ไปสำนักงานแบบไม่ต้องรอเลย

นั่งๆแท็กซี่ไปซักพัก (ครึ่งชั่วโมงได้) ชักไกลฟ่ะ .. ไกลเหมือนกันนะเนี่ย .. ที่นี่มันที่ไหน .. ทำไมมิเตอร์มันพุ่งแบบนี้ …

กว่าจะไปถึงมิเตอร์ขึ้นไป 249 บาท แม่เจ้า

ยื่นกล่องให้เท่าที่ขุดเจอ (หอบไปทั้งกล่อง ทั้งชีวิตไม่เคยเคลมการ์ดจอ เคยเคลมแต่ของเล็กๆ)

เอาของเก่าไปเช็ค เอาของใหม่มาแปะวอยด์ ออกใบเสร็จ ใช้เวลาทั้งสิ้น 20 นาที

ขากลับนั่งรถมาเรียนคาบบ่ายที่บางกะดี 150 บาท ไม่ไกลมาก แต่รถติดบานตะไท

—

รวมแล้วค่ารถ 400 บาท ค่าเคลม 300 บาท กับเวลาอีกเกือบๆสองชั่วโมง (อะไรฟระเนี่ย)

อัพจาก GeForce 8800GTS 320MB เป็น GeForce 9800GT 512MB (ลองอ้อนขอเพิ่มเป็น 9800GTX+ แล้ว แต่ไม่ได้ ห่างกันเกิน)

เท่าที่นั่งเผามันดู ความแรงก็พอๆกัน ไม่ได้ต่างกันเท่าไหร่ (สเปคต่างกันไม่มากเท่าไหร่ แค่แรมเยอะขึ้น เปลี่ยน GPU เป็นตัวใหม่ แล้วก็ตัวการ์ดบางลง ไม่กินช่อง PCI ข้างๆแล้ว)

อุณหภูมิก็ 55-60 องศาเซลเสียส เหมือนตัวเก่า

300 บาทก็คุ้มดี แต่ถ้ารวมค่ารถแล้วก็แพงอยู่

Just like I said, everything usually starts humbly, and here are my humble beginnings in the world of F@H. Here’s my workhorse, just a good ol’ BFG 8800GTS 640MB running the new GPU2 F@H client along with nVidia’s new CUDA-enabled drivers: 177.83. According to a fantastic little app. called FahMon I’m averaging about 4600 points per day (ppd). This guy’s production satisfied me for about… 2 hours. After which the F@H bug got a hold of me and I’ve been dreaming of my dedicated F@H box ever since. I did overclock the Shader Cores (absolutely a must!) from the stock 1300MHz to 1568MHz by using RivaTuner. And holy cow what a difference! My points per day exploded from 3800 to the 4600 you see in the picture below!

Here’s the 8800GTS crunching away.

CES 2008 fuarında, firmaların yaptığı teknoloji şovlarının ardı arkası kesilmiyor. Soğutma sistemleri üzerine çalışan CoolIT firması, özel bir sistemi tanıttı. Üzerinde 6xGeForce 8800GTS 640MB ekran kartı ve Intel 4 çekirdekli çift Xenon 5335 işlemci barındıran ürün, 4GB bellek ile çalışıyor. Sistem’in kullandığı anakart ise özel bir tasarım.

Dual Quad HOST adı verilen ve endüstriyel sektörde faaliyet gösteren firmalar için tasarlanan anakart üzerinde 6×8800GTS ve 4 çekirdekli 2xXenon 5335 işlemci çalışabiliyor.

Kullanılan power ise 1200w’lık Thermaltake Toughpower. Bu canavarı soğutmak için ise yine CoolIT’nin kendi ürettiği özel soğutma sistemi kullanılıyor. 

Ok. Não aguento mais ler críticas babando pelo Call of Duty 4, Modern Warfare. O blockbuster que fechou sua terceira versão ainda na Segunda Guerra Mundial, partiu agora para os tempos atuais. O Warfare chamaria atenção caso todas grandes empresas de games não resolvessem lançar outros jogos do gênero no ano de 2006 e 2007. Rainbow Six Vegas, GRAW, Halo, Gears of War, Crysis, Bioshock e alguns outros. Ok, alguns deles não retratam a ‘realidade’ e partem para o scy-fi.
<p>
Por que falam tanto do CoD4?
<p>
Gráficos?
Jogabilidade?
Inteligência Artificial?
Enredo?
<p>
Todo game que trás novidades é sempre levado a toda sua rentabilidade, do que ele pode fazer, do que ele pode te dar. O CoD4 com certeza me impressionou com gráficos que eu não tinha visto ainda em jogos de computador. Eu uso uma já comum 8800GTS 320, mas já rodei estes games em placas superiores. A jogabilidade seguiu a linha dos outros CoD e está muito melhor neste último título, o Warfare. Preciso comentar dos gráficos? O que eu sempre reclamei em jogos do gênero era o problema dos projéteis não atravessarem portas, caixas, paredes… Finalmente ví isso acontecer! Claro que em outros jogos isso já acontecia, mas foi no Warfare que evidenciou mesmo esta belezinha. Ah, o último jogo que realizava bem esta façanha era o saudoso 007 vs Gondeneye, do Nintendo 64, com a Magnun 357 ou alguma arma do gênero, já faz muito tempo…
<p>
Voltando a falar sobre a jogabilidade, o modo single player sofre de alguns problemas que, para mim, é muito grave. Não chega a ser um ‘bug’ de fato, mas é algo que me incomoda. Quem jogou já deve ter percebido que quando você fica escorado em algum canto matando quem aparece, você fica eternamente alí a não ser que avance para o próximo ‘point’ aonde os inimigos param de vir. Não tem graça você não poder limpar a área de terroristas ou não poder dar cobertura para seus companheiros. Ficar eternamente atirando sem parar de vir revolucionários. Ponto positivo para o Rainbow Six Vegas, lá isso não acontece. Ok, jogos diferentes, intenções diferentes.
<p>
Ja no modo multi-player, não se pode reclamar muito. Simplesmente arrasador. Ganhando levels, perks, habilidades… Nivel a nivel, ganhando medalhas em cenários foto-realísticos. Lindo. A unica reclamação aqui é sobre o single player mesmo, ele possui uma campanha minúscula em comparação aos outros CoD. m i n u s c u l a!

<p>
E sobre a inteligência artificial?
<p>
Nem tão boa, nem tão ruim. Ela de fato não melhora nos níveis mais difícil do jogo. O que de fato acontece é que os inimigos ficam com uma mira melhor e atiram ‘de verdade’. Eles não tem realmente uma ‘inteligência’, são comandos pré programados que alteram-se de acordo com grandes atitudes que você toma, grandes no caso, não épicas, mas sim de movimentação. Eles não se escondem ou ficam de ‘tocaia’. Nada de muito diferente dos outros jogos.
<p>
Porém a jogabilidade encontra-se junto com os gráficos e o enredo. O CoD4 tornou-se muito cinematográfico, lindo, suave. Há movimentos in-game que não se pode fazer mas você ve seus companheiros fazendo. Demais. Para os amantes de guerra e contos épicos o jogo realmente excita. Quem não se lembra das cenas do Rambo atirando para tudo que era lado enquanto seu amigo ferido sem uma perna ficava no chão dando ‘apoio’ com uma pistola 9mm?
<p>
As seqüências de cena, os loadings do jogo, todos foram cuidadosamente produzidos. Logo na primeira missão do game já se vê um artifício novo: o barco afundando e… Bem, jogue e verá.
<p>
O Warfare, analizado unicamente em comparação com ele mesmo, poderia ter sido melhor, poderia.
<p>
Só na parte gráfica o game merece muitos pontos, não há nada igual no mercado.
